Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Purchased nearly new, so avoided immediate heavy depreciation costs, and I've always said they're better value for money than VWs.
Costs
It's been a low-cost motor - very reliable so no major worries.

Living with it
Reliability
Excellent.
Image
Metallic red isn't the raciest of the colours available, but still manages to look neat and distinctive.
Comfort
Average - seats are a bit bench-like on long journeys and trim level is a bit disappointing, but there's plenty of headroom and everything seems to be in the right place and well within reach.
